Athletics
Coach Update This meeting, our Coach’s Update came from Women’s Basketball Coach Heather Macy. Coach Macy talked specifically about the team’s growth, both on the court and off the court. Her team is off to a 4-0 start and she was very enthusiastic about the community support of her team. She highlighted the recruitment efforts as well and gave an update on what the new basketball practice has meant for her team.
Athletic Strategic Plan As most of you are aware, the Athletics Department has been in the process of developing a strategic plan. In a quick review: active work began in September 2012 that would serve as a working three to five year strategic roadmap for ECU Athletics upon its completion. Todd Turner of Collegiate Sports Associates was engaged to work with ECU Athletics for this initiative.
The overall process has been inclusive and provided an opportunity for ownership across the university community. Over of 80 individuals representing athletics staff and coaches, student-athletes, university administration and faculty, ECU Student Government, Pirate Club, Board of Trustees and the community have participated in this strategic plan work.
Our committee received a draft of the public document that will be prepared for public release in late January 2014. Over the next two months, prior to its public release, this draft will be presented to key stakeholders, to include athletics staff, the University Athletics Committee, the Student Athlete Advisory Council, the Chancellor’s Executive Council and the Pirate Club executive committee.
The final work included the mission, vision, core values statements (The Pirate Creed and Code), seven priority areas, fifteen goals, forty-nine strategies and 149 action steps. We will hear more at the February meeting regarding implementation of the plan.
Our committee also had an in depth discussion about our brand identity and how that will change as we transition into the new American Athletic Conference. There is work going on now about putting together a brand identity that is consistent across the board, not a total remake, but consistent.
Nick Floyd gave a financial update and those materials are online for you to review. Jeff Compher gave highlights from several sports, included an early signing update from men’s basketball and national awards for Justin Hardy and Shane Carden from football. Shane Carden has been named CUSA player of the week 3 times this season. Jeff also recognized the women’s volleyball team, under the direction of Julie Torbett, who had a 13-19 season, a significant improvement from the last few years.
University Advancement
At the September meeting, I charged Max with reviewing the Naming Policy and make suggestions. Max gave an update on the process. He said that J Batt and Glen Gilbert are working to revise the policy and ensure the policy and procedures are clearly defined. The revisions of the policy will work to safeguard the authority of the Board of Trustees and adhere to the purpose of honoring individuals, raising money and promoting the University’s tradition. We plan on reviewing a draft of that policy in February.
Dr. Glen Gilbert updated the members on the work being done to acquire a campus-wide list of all opportunities for naming. The list will illustrate the suggested price tag for each opportunity. This list will be presented to the Athletics and Advancement Committee Membership at the February meeting.
Dr. Rick Niswander informed the membership that a Vice Chancellor candidate is returning to campus next week for a second interview. We are hoping that someone will be identified by Spring of next year.
Dr. Locklear presented two nominations to fill vacancies in the Board of Visitors. The two nominees are Mr. Michael Overton to fill the vacancy in the Class of 2016 and General Dutch Holland to fill a vacancy in the Class of 2017.
MOTIONS:
Mr. Clark moved that the Board approve the nomination of Mr. Michael Overton to the Board of Visitors Class of 2016, and Major General William Dutch Holland to the Board of Visitors Class of 2017, as presented in the Board materials. The motion passed with unanimously. East Carolina University Board of Trustees Athletics and Advancement Committee April 24, 2014

Notes EAST CAROLINA ATHLETICS 2013-2014 Informational Recaps – Spring Update FOOTBALL A total of 27 student-athletes officially signed to attend and play football at East Carolina on Feb. 5 (National Signing Day). Of head coach Ruffin McNeill’s entire 2014 class, 15 are projected to play on offense while 12 will line up on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively, the Pirates inked seven linemen, seven receivers, a tight end and running back, while on defense, six linebackers, four secondary performers and two linemen comprise the list of newcomers. Twenty-five of the 27 signees most recently played at the high school level, which ranks as the largest freshman signing class in the McNeill era at East Carolina, which began in 2010. The Pirates also maintained their footprint along the I-95 corridor through the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast region with representation ranging from North Carolina (seven), South Carolina (six), Florida (five), Virginia (four), Georgia (three) and Maryland (one) to cover 26 of the 27 additions. East Carolina's inaugural campaign in the American Athletic Conference will officially begin when it welcomes SMU to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Oct. 4, according to a release of 2014 schedules by the AAC. The Pirates' eight-game league slate follows previously-announced non-conference home contests against North Carolina Central (Aug. 30) and North Carolina (Sept. 20), along with road matchups at South Carolina (Sept. 6) and Virginia Tech (Sept. 13). Other ’14 league games include USF (road/Oct. 11), Connecticut (home/Oct. 23), Cincinnati (road/Nov. 15), Tulane (home/Nov. 22), Tulsa (road/Nov. 28) and UCF (home/Dec. 4) The AAC and its primary television partner, ESPN, also tabbed a pair of ECU home games among its early broadcast selections with Thursday night battles against Connecticut (Oct. 23/ESPNU) and defending champion and Tostitos Fiesta Bowl winner UCF (Dec. 4/ESPN). East Carolina and Florida agreed on a single-game contract for the Pirates and Gators to play at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Sept. 12, 2015, according to a joint announcement made by both institutions on Feb. 27. The meeting will mark ECU's second visit to Gainesville and first since 1983 when No. 6 UF used a late fourth-quarter touchdown run by Neal Anderson to post a 24-17 victory on Oct. 22. East Carolina and Marshall, two programs which share a competitive rivalry on the playing field and an association of tragedy, agreed to a two-year home-and-home football series in 2020 and 2021 according to an April 3 release. The Pirates and Thundering Herd will renew a 15-game series that dates back to 1967 by meeting at ECU's Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Sept. 5, 2020 before following with a contest in Huntington on Sept. 11, 2021. Marshall's visit to Greenville in the opener will also commemorate the 50th anniversary of the tragic Southern Airways charter plane crash which claimed the lives of 70 passengers and five crewmembers returning from the Herd's game in Greenville on Nov. 14, 1970. Rising senior inside linebacker Jeremy Grove announced in late February that he will step away from college football for medical reasons after a decorated three-year career with the Pirates. He helped ECU to a combined 23 victories and two bowl appearances during his tenure on the active roster, which also included 246 tackles – 100 coming as solo hits. Grove booked multiple stops in 30 contests, was credited with five tackles or more on 24 occasions and reached 10 or more nine times, including a career-best 15 against UAB in 2011.
BASEBALL The Pirates are currently 20-13 and tied for second in Conference USA action with an 8-4 ledger. ECU is currently receiving votes in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll. Since March 14 (Tulane series), ECU has posted a 12-4 record which has included four-straight weekend series wins. The Pirates took their first-ever series from nationally-ranked Rice (April 4-6) in Houston, picking up a 3-2 win on Friday and a 2-1 victory Sunday. In both triumphs, ECU had to come from behind and scored four of its five runs in the ninth inning with two outs. The Pirates have played five-straight games against nationally ranked teams, posting a 3-2 record – including a 7- 0 win over No. 25 NC State in Greenville on April 9. Against the Wolfpack, the Pirates ushered in a season-high 4,214 fans to witness the shutout at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium. Head Coach Billy Godwin recorded his 300th career win as the Pirates’ skipper in a 6-0 shutout over UMBC on March 28. He is only the second Pirate head baseball coach to reach the 300-win mark, joining ECU Hall of Famer Gary Overton (427 victories). Junior RHP Jeff Hoffman, a potential Top 5 overall pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, earned Louisville Slugger National Player-of-the-Week and Conference USA honors on March 3rd following his 14-strikeout performance against Western Kentucky in the LeClair Classic. He currently owns a 2-3 record after picking up wins against Western Kentucky and No. 12 Rice. In eight starts, he owns a 3.40 ERA with 52 strikeouts in 53.0 innings. In mid- March, Hoffman was named to the 60-man preseason Golden Spikes Award Watch List, which is given annually to the nation’s top amateur player. Freshman INF Charlie Yorgen earned C-USA Hitter-of-the-Week honors on March 31 after batting a team-best .538 (7-for-13) on ECU’s perfect 4-0 week, which included a midweek win over N.C. Central and a series sweep of UMBC. He has started 17-straight games at second base where he is batting .309 with seven RBI, nine walks and 10 runs scored. Senior RHP Ryan Williams is the NCAA leader in wins (nine) and ranks 10th nationally in ERA (0.81). In 19 games out of the bullpen, Williams owns a 9-1 record with three saves and has fanned 44 batters, while walking only three. Senior utility player (RHP/DH) Drew Reynolds became ECU’s all-time leader in saves by picking up a pair in the LeClair Classic (Pittsburgh, Ohio State) to move past Seth Simmons (2008-11). Currently, he has 27 for his career and is 4-for-5 in save opportunities this season. He ranks second on the team with a 0.84 ERA in 10 outings, allowing just two runs while striking out 11 and walking one. In the lineup, Reynolds is batting .333 with 15 RBI, 21 runs scored and nine extra-base hits. His two-RBI single in the ninth inning at No. 12 Rice secured a series opening win (3-2) and marked his third career game-winning RBI. Junior Ian Townsend tied an NCAA record against Tulane by hitting two home runs in the same inning during the Pirates’ 13-3 victory. With ECU trailing 3-0 in the second, Townsend led off with a solo home run to right field. He came back to bat later in the frame with two outs and belted his second round tripper of the inning, a three-run shot to right, capping the Pirates’ eight-run second inning. Sophomore Travis Watkins, who was named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List for the second-straight season, will miss the remainder of the 2014 season with an injury. Watkins played in nine games (seven behind the plate) where he batted .360 with five RBI and four walks before suffering the injury. Former ECU All-America selection and all-time wins and strikeout leader Seth Maness broke spring training camp with the St. Louis Cardinals to earn a spot on the 2014 opening day roster. ECU had seven former players participate in spring training in Maness, Chris Heston (San Francisco Giants), Mark Minicozzi (San Francisco Giants), Jack Reinheimer (Seattle Mariners), Seth Simmons (Arizona Diamondbacks), Chad Tracy (Los Angeles Angels) and Mike Wright (Baltimore Orioles). The trio of Heston, Minicozzi and Wright were all optioned down to their respective Triple-A clubs, while Reinheimer and Simmons were sent down to Single-A. Tracy was released from the Angles and has not signed with another team as of April 10. Fifteen (15) of Billy Godwin’s former players are currently playing professional baseball - Shawn Armstrong (Indians), Kevin Brandt (Rays), Jharel Cotton (Dodgers), Devin Harris (Giants), Chris Heston (Giants), Seth Maness (Cardinals), Chase McDonald (Astros), Brad Mincey (Marlins), Jack Reinheimer (Mariners), Kyle Roller (Yankees), Seth Simmons (Diamondbacks), Corey Thompson (White Sox), John Wooten (Nationals), Mike Wright (Orioles) and Zach Wright (Angels).
BASKETBALL (MEN) •East Carolina ended its season with an overall record of 17-17, giving the Pirates their second consecutive non- losing season for the first time since 1993-97 (four-straight). East Carolina won 17 games in a season for only the 13th time in school history (three times under current ECU Head Coach Jeff Lebo). •The Pirates received their second-straight invitation to the CollegeInsiders.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). It was their third postseason bid in the last four years. •Lebo became the first coach in school history to win 15 games in each of his first four seasons. His 73 wins over the last four years are the most by an ECU coach in that span. •The Pirates won their first round game of the Conference USA Championship for the third time in the last four years. •Senior Akeem Richmond was named second-team All-Conference USA after becoming just the fourth ECU player to score more than 600 points in a season (finished with 612). •Richmond is the first player in school history to earn a NCAA statistical championship. Richmond led the NCAA in 3-point field goals made (155), attempted (392) and per game (4.56). All three marks were ECU single-season records. His 155 made 3s were the third-most in Division I history and his per game average was the ninth-best all- time. •Richmond also set ECU career records for 3-point field goals made (260) and attempted (642). In addition to his two years at East Carolina, Richmond spent two years at Rhode Island where he made 156 3-pointers. He finished his four-year playing career seventh on the NCAA’s career 3-point field goals made list with 416. •Richmond made an ECU, Conference USA and C-USA tournament single-game record 11 3-pointers in the first round of the league’s championships event (vs. UTSA). •Caleb White became just the third ECU freshman to score over 400 points in his rookie season. He finished the campaign with 422 points, second-most ever by a Pirate first-year player. In addition, he posted the third-highest scoring average by an ECU rookie (12.4 ppg) in 30 starts – the latter also matching an ECU freshman record. •Richmond and White were each the recipient of a weekly C-USA honor. Richmond was named Player-of-the- Week (Feb. 10) and White was voted Freshman-of-the-Week (March 3). •Brandan Stith became the sixth ECU freshman to grab 200 rebounds in a season. His 209 boards ranked as fourth-most by a Pirate rookie. •Paris Roberts-Campbell notched the eighth 50-steal season by an ECU player, tying for sixth-most in a year with 53. He also became the 10th player in school history to record more 100 steals in his career. •The Pirates set team single-season records for 3-point field goals made (289) and attempted (786). They also tallied the second-most points (2,477) and assists (458). •East Carolina won at least 10 home games for the fourth-straight year. •The Pirates won their 400th game at Minges Coliseum on Feb. 22 against Rice.
BASKETBALL (WOMEN) East Carolina finished the season with a 22-9 overall record and a 10-6 Conference USA mark to place fifth in the Conference USA standings en route to earning a No. 5 seed in the league’s tournament. The Pirates put together a 14-1 record at Minges Coliseum as their home winning streak stretched to 26 games dating back to November 2012. ECU saw the streak snapped in a 70-59 loss to No. 23/25 Middle Tennessee on February 26. Redshirt junior post Ondrea Shaw set a new single-season block record with 101, besting a standard that was set in 1978. Freshman guard J’Kyra Brown was named Conference USA Freshman of the Week twice during the campaign. Redshirt sophomore forward Jada Payne, redshirt junior guard Abria Trice and redshirt junior post Ondrea Shaw all earned All-Conference USA accolades.

ECU Board of Visitors Attention: Megan Ayers 202 Spilman Building East Carolina University Greenville, NC 27858
Ms. Ayers:
Born and raised in northeastern North Carolina, I personally know the challenges that our region faces. Regardless of where my job takes me, I always tell people I meet that that I now live in Johnston County, but will always proudly call Northampton home.
It was instilled in me at a very early age to always look at ways of supporting the “team” regardless of the capacity or role. Although I went to ECU in the early 80’s with aspiration of playing football, I quickly realized that was not able to compete at the next level. Nonetheless, I wanted to still support my school and was fortunate serve as Equipment Manager for Coach Ed Emory and Art Baker.
Today, I am seeking the opportunity to continue to support and serve, as well as give back to the University and region that gave so much to me. I am not interested in “building my resume” with this appointed position. I am seriously looking to make a difference and feel I can do so.
I thank you and the Board of Visitors in advance for any consideration.
Regards,

Item Description Naming Policy
Comments N/A
Action Requested Approval
Disposition
Notes Summary of Naming Policy Revisions April 8, 2014 Edwin Clark (chair of the Athletics & Advancement Committee) assigned the task of revising the Naming Policy to Max Joyner. The working group included Chris Dyba (Vice Chancellor for University Advancement), Glen Gilbert (former interim VC for Advancement), J Batt (Director of the Pirate Club) and Megan Ayers.
Points of Interest:
The revised policy has an emphasis on naming facilities and activities to reflect institutional history and traditions.
The revised policy abolishes the “Committee on Naming Facilities and Activities.” This policy allocates those duties to the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees. The “Committee on Naming Facilities and Activities” as outlined in the existing policy has not met in over 6 years.
The revised policy has a “prior approval” piece – The Board of Trustees shall pre approve a menu of possible facilities and/or activities that may be considered for naming (both monetary and honorary). Specifically, every 7 years from the time of initial approval, the board will receive an update from University Advancement in regards to what is still available to be named. (For example, in 2010, the Board of Trustees approved a naming schematic/menu for the basketball practice facility, which had a price designation for each office/lobby/court, etc… according to the revised policy, this would need to be reevaluated in 2017 by the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees to identify what is still available to be named).
Revised policy outlines TWO procedures:
Financial Contributions
Proposal originator routes proposal to VCUA; VCUA compiles proposal form and supporting documentation; VCUA also reviews proposal for credibility and monitors collection of 60% of gift; Upon collection of 60% of gift, VCUA forwards proposal to Chancellor; Chancellor reviews proposal and forwards to the Athletics and Advancement Committee of Board of Trustees; Athletics and Advancement Committee of Board of Trustees acts at the committee level, then forwards to the Board of Trustees for final action. Honorary Namings
Proposal originator routes proposal to VCUA; Upon review by the VCUA, the proposal then goes to the Chancellor for review and approval; If approved by the Chancellor, the proposal is routed to the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees; Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees acts at the committee level, then forwards to the Board of Trustees for final action. The revised policy abolishes the 30 day time delay for review that was in the existing policy. In the new policy, this review is done by University Advancement prior to the proposal being presented to the Board. The revised policy also still allows for certain naming proposals to be presented in closed session if recommended by the Chancellor. Quarterly, the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement will provide the Athletics and Advancement Committee a report of all major gift activity, including prospects and potential solicitations. This could be included as a part of the Athletics and Advancement Committee’s meeting materials. The revised policy allows for naming proposals to be approved collectively by the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board and by the Board of Trustees instead of individually. (For example, if the Allied Health Building has 6 classrooms being named, they will be reviewed individually, but can be approved collectively in one motion). The Office of the Assistant Secretary to the Board will be the official record of all namings, both honorary and monetary (this is currently the case, but the revised policy just includes the practice). 1
DRAFT REVISIONS EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES POLICY ON NAMING UNIVERSITY FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES
1. Establishment and Source of Authority. 1.1 The Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina delegated the duty and authority to the Board of Trustees to approve the names of all individuals on whom "Honorary Distinction" is conferred by the university. As a means of guiding the development of recommendations to the Board of Trustees for naming university facilities and activities, the Trustees will follow this policy for honorary naming and monetary gift naming.
1.2 Since East Carolina University was founded, the University’s physical spaces have been named to reflect its rich history and traditions. The act of naming a university facility or activity for a person, a family, or an organization is a conferral by the university of a high and conspicuous honor. It is intended to be a permanent act. The act enduringly recognizes the person, family, or organization so honored, and it perpetually exhibits to the world the judgment and standards of this university as to the qualities and actions that justify linking the name of the individual, family, or organization so honored with that of this institution. All who are involved in the act of naming a facility or activity must ever be aware that they are naming public property with the intent for it to be a perpetual recognition of the person, family, or organization being honored. It follows that the act of naming a facility or activity is to be taken discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and with concern for how that action will be viewed in retrospect.
A recommendation to change or alter in any way the name of a previously named facility or activity must be initiated by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may lead to consideration of a name change may include, but shall not be limited to such items as: (1) significant renovation or addition of space, (2) actions by an honored person that brings discredit to the institution, (3) failure by the honored person to fulfill agreed upon obligations, or 2
(4) the demolition of a facility or the discontinuation of an activity.
2. Definitions 2.1 “Facility” is defined as every building, addition to a building, space in a building, outdoor spaces such as a garden, court or plaza, and other tangible and relatively permanent feature locations on any university property.
2.2 "Activity" is defined as every college, school, department, unit, center, program, or organization operating under the auspices of the university.
2.3 "Personal Service" is defined as substantial service that is sustained in character, and rendered to or on behalf of the university as a student, faculty member, administrator, staff member, alumnus, trustee, or friend of the university.
2.4 "Financial Contribution" is defined as a contribution of money or property that is substantial in relation to the facility or activity being named.
3. Review 3.1 The naming policy shall be reviewed periodically by the Board of Trustees, the Office of University Advancement and/or the Office of the Assistant Secretary to the Board of Trustees with all recommended changes requiring approval by the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees.
4. Responsibilities 4.1 Board of Trustees 4.1.1 The act of naming a facility or program shall be that of the Board of Trustees, acting after receiving the recommendation of the Chancellor. Benefactors or honorees should be informed throughout the naming discussions that final naming approval for all University facilities and programs rests with the Board of Trustees. 3
4.2 Chancellor 4.2.1 Subject to the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor shall have responsibility and authority with respect to, and is an essential participant in, all naming actions. 4.2.2 No facility or program may be named without prior approval of the Chancellor. The Chancellor and/or designee shall ensure that the proposed action is consistent with the interests of the University, to assure that the amount of any contribution warrants the action proposed, and to maintain equity in the relationship of donations for similar naming actions. 4.2.3 The Chancellor may recommend exceptions to any of the following policies, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees.
4.3 Faculty When a facility or activity to be named is closely related to a school, department, or other unit having its own administration and faculty, the members of the administration and faculty shall be consulted by the Chancellor or his designee before the Board of Trustees acts on the naming proposal. Recommendations from the unit shall be weighed as one factor, but shall not constitute approval or disapproval of the proposal.
5. Procedures 5.1 It shall be the policy of the university that any facility or activity of the university not previously named may be named in consideration of: (1) financial contributions made to the university, or (2) services rendered to the university or society at large.
5.2 Whenever a naming proposal originates, at the earliest feasible date it shall be routed through the responsible dean and/or vice chancellor to the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement. The Vice Chancellor for University Advancement will determine whether the proposal meets the requirements for either a financial contribution or honorary 4
naming. It shall be the responsibility of the Vice Chancellor to assure that a form, developed and approved by the Board of Trustees ensuring uniform reporting of data to the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees, is provided to individuals planning to submit proposals for naming, and that all pertinent information is collected and completed before forwarding the materials to the Committee.
5.3 The Form The form developed by the Chancellor and approved by the Board of Trustees shall be completed and signed by the person responsible for originating the proposal for naming. If the proposal involves a financial commitment of $25,000 or more, a copy of the signed Letter of Intent defining pertinent arrangements must also be included.
5.4 Prior Approval As a benefit and guide to staff and potential donors, the Board of Trustees shall pre- approve a menu of possible facilities and/or activities that may be considered for naming. If not otherwise stated, facilities and activities which receive prior approval concerning levels of gifts required to attain naming privileges shall extend for seven (7) years from the date of approval. After seven (7) years, all classes or groups of prior approved items shall be reevaluated or deemed to have expired.
5.5 Financial Contributions 5.5.1 Proposals for naming facilities and activities shall be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement, who shall review the proposals. 5.5.2 Proposals for facilities namings shall be accompanied by sufficient documentation of the gift, along with a completed naming proposal form. Upon the receipt of at least 60% of the funds committed and with a written gift agreement in place for the remainder, the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement will forward the naming recommendation to the Chancellor. (Gifts of irrevocable trusts may be considered case by case apart from this 60% receipt requirement). 5.5.3 The Vice Chancellor for University Advancement shall receive and review all recommendations prior to forwarding the naming proposals to the Chancellor. 5
5.5.4 Upon receipt of a naming proposal, the Chancellor will make recommendations to the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees. If deemed appropriate by the Chancellor, the recommendations may be made in closed session. 5.5.5 The Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees shall review recommendations from the Chancellor and select those to be recommended to the Board of Trustees for final approval. 5.5.6. The Board of Trustees will review the recommendation from the Athletics and Advancement Committee and will act on the proposal. With approval of the Board chair, the board may act to accept naming proposals as a group under one action. 5.5.7 The naming proposal recommendations may be heard in closed session at the recommendation of the Chancellor, the Athletics and Advancement Committee and/or the Board of Trustees. 5.5.8 Transfer of Donations 5.5.8.1 When a facility or activity is to be named in consideration of a financial contribution, the money or other property constituting the donation shall be transferred to the university or one of its related foundations, or its future transfer shall be assured through signed documentation before official action shall be taken. (1) Non-cash gifts. a. Gifts of real estate. The valuation of real estate shall follow Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations and Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Management Reporting Standards for establishing value. The valuation for the gift shall be based on a qualified current Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) appraisal (less than six months of age). b. Gifts-in-Kind. In accordance with IRS regulations and CASE Management Reporting Standards, gifts of real and personal property are to be counted at full fair market value regardless of the value the donor may be able to take as a charitable deduction. Gifts of $5,000 or more shall be valued by qualified, independent appraisers. c. Additional requirements. When an opportunity to name a facility or service is expected in return for a non-cash gift, the Trustees may require 6
additional agreements from a donor to assure the eventual net from the sale of real estate or other valuables is not less than the value required for naming. Some examples of potential requirements could include a delay in naming until the article of value is sold, the requirement of multiple appraisals, or the requirement of a make-up provision in which the donor commits to make up the difference between the net received from the sale of the asset and the minimum amount required for naming. (2) Commitment periods may not extend more than five years. (3) Once a designated level of giving has been established for naming, no portion of "annual gifts" or "membership fees" may be counted toward the total required for naming purposes. 5.5.9 Shared Funding for Naming Opportunities 5.5.9.1 Naming opportunities are intended to recognize individuals, organizations or families for their efforts on behalf of the university. Required gift levels may not be split into units among unrelated individuals, with recognition conferred in multiple or hyphenated name fashion, without prior permission of the Board of Trustees. 5.5.10 Buildings or Facilities Constructed By Public Funds 5.5.10.1When a building or facility that is currently standing or one to be built is funded entirely from non-gift resources (state allocations, federal grants, or fees), the Board of Trustees may require the proceeds to be placed in unrestricted endowment funds within any one or multiples of its related foundations for the general benefit of an area or the entire university.
5.6 Honorary Namings 5.6.1 Naming a facility to honor individuals should be extraordinary, and made if: 1. the individual has had a University-wide influence, or the individual has made exceptional contributions to the nation or world; 2. the individual being honored has been separated from the university for at least two years. 7
5.6.2 Proposals for naming facilities and activities based on honorary service shall be forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement who shall review the proposal. 5.6.3 Proposals for honorary facilities namings shall be accompanied by sufficient justification of the naming as well as the naming proposal form. 5.6.4 Upon receipt and review of all applicable materials, the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement will forward the official naming recommendation to the Chancellor. 5.6.5 Upon receiving a formal recommendation, the Chancellor will review the honorary naming proposal, and if approved, will make a recommendation to the Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees. 5.6.6. The Athletics and Advancement Committee of the Board of Trustees shall review recommendations from the Chancellor and select those to be recommended to the Board of Trustees for final approval.
6 List of Named Facilities 6.1 The Assistant Secretary to the Board of Trustees shall maintain a record of officially named facilities and activities. 8

CURRENT EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES POLICY ON NAMING UNIVERSITY FACILITIES AND ACTIVITIES
I. Establishment and Source of Authority. The Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina delegated the duty and authority to the Board of Trustees to approve the names of all individuals on whom "Honorary Distinction" is conferred by the university. As a means of guiding the development of recommendations to the Board of Trustees for naming university facilities and activities, the Trustees created the Committee on Naming Facilities and Activities, hereafter referred to as the "Committee," as a permanent committee.
II. Organization. A. Membership. Members shall be appointed by the Chair of the Trustees on an annual basis. Members may include trustees, staff or other individuals whose knowledge and presence may benefit the Committee. B. Chair. The Chair of the Committee will be appointed by the Chair of the Trustees. C. Assistance. The Committee may call upon any university employee for assistance in the performance of its duties. All naming proposals related to personal services rendered or services rendered to society at large shall be reviewed first by the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Naming University Facilities. Committee composition and terms of service are delegated to the Chancellor.
III. Functions of the Committee. A. Role. The Committee shall be a fact finding and advisory body for the Trustees and shall have no policy making or administrative authority. B. Duties. The Committee shall advise the Trustees and the Chancellor in confidence with respect to proposals to name or change the name of university facilities or activities consistent with the procedures and guidelines established in this policy statement. 2
C. Meetings. The Committee shall meet at such times and places as it finds necessary for the effective performance of its duties. Meetings shall be called by the Chair, on written request from any three members of the Committee, or by the Chancellor. A simple majority of membership of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. All members present at a meeting may vote. No proxies shall be recognized at any meeting of the Committee.
D. Naming Responsibility. (1) The act of naming a building, an addition to a building, or a significant interior or exterior space ordinarily accessible to the public, shall be the responsibility of the Board of Trustees, after receiving a recommendation from the Committee. Whenever a naming proposal originates, at the earliest feasible date it shall be routed through the responsible dean and/or vice chancellor to the Chancellor, from the Chancellor to the Committee, from the Committee to the Executive Committee of the Trustees, and from the Executive Committee to the full Board for final action. (2) The act of naming a school, department, other unit, or activity shall be that of the Board of Trustees, after receiving a recommendation from the Committee.
IV. Policies and Procedures With Respect to Naming Facilities and Activities. A. Subjects for Naming. It shall be the policy of the university that any facility or activity of the university not previously named may be named in consideration of: (1) personal services rendered or financial contributions made to the university, or (2) services rendered to society at large.
For the purposes of this policy statement, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Facility". Facility means every building, addition to a building, space in a building, outdoor spaces such as a garden, court or plaza, and other tangible and relatively permanent feature locations on any university property. 3
(2) "Activity". Activity means every school, department, unit, center, program, or organization operating under the auspices of the university. (3) "Personal Service". Personal service means substantial service that is sustained in character, and rendered to or on behalf of the university as a student, faculty member, administrator, staff member, alumnus, trustee, or friend of the university. (4) "Financial Contribution". Financial contribution means a contribution of money or property that is substantial in relation to the facility or activity being named.
B. Caution. The act of naming a university facility or activity for a person, a family, or an organization is a conferral by the university of a high and conspicuous honor. It is intended to be a permanent act. The act enduringly recognizes the person, family, or organization so honored, and it perpetually exhibits to the world the judgment and standards of this university as to the qualities and actions that justify linking the name of the individual, family, or organization so honored with that of this institution. All who are involved in the act of naming a facility or activity must ever be aware that they are naming public property with the intent for it to be perpetual recognition of the person, family, or organization being honored. It follows that the act of naming a facility or activity is to be taken discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and with concern for how that action will be viewed in retrospect.
C. Chancellor's Responsibility. Subject to the responsibilities of the Committee, the Chancellor also shall have responsibility and authority with respect to and is an essential participant in all naming actions. No facility or activity may be named without early knowledge and prior approval of the Chancellor. The Chancellor shall endeavor to determine that any such proposed action is consistent with the interest of the university, to assure that the amount of contribution warrants the action proposed, and to maintain equity in the relationship of donations for similar naming actions. 4
D. Duration and Change of Naming Actions. Every name assigned to a facility or activity is intended to be enduring. A recommendation to change or alter in any way the name of a previously named facility or activity must be initiated by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may lead to consideration of a name change may include, but shall not be limited to such items as:
(1) significant renovation or addition of space, (2) actions by an honored person that brings discredit to the institution, (3) failure by the honored person to fulfill agreed upon obligations, or (4) the demolition of a facility or the discontinuation of an activity.
E. Delay in Certain Naming Actions. A facility or activity shall not be named for a person who is honored chiefly or solely for services rendered as a faculty member, staff member, administrator, or trustee until that person shall have died or shall have been retired from the regular service of the university for at least two years.
F. Faculty Consultation. When a facility or activity to be named is closely related to a school, department, or other unit having its own administration and faculty, the members of the administration and faculty shall be consulted by the Chancellor or his designee before the Committee acts on the naming proposal. Recommendations from the unit shall be weighed as one factor, but shall not constitute approval or disapproval of the proposal.
G. Buildings or Facilities Constructed By Public Funds. When a building or facility that is currently standing or one to be built is funded entirely from non-gift resources (state allocations, federal grants, or fees), the Trustees may require the proceeds to be placed in unrestricted endowment funds within any one or multiples of its related foundations for the general benefit of an area or the entire university. 5
H. Procedure. Whenever a naming proposal originates, at the earliest feasible date it shall be routed through the responsible dean and/or vice chancellor to the chancellor, from the chancellor to the Committee, from the Committee to the Executive Committee of the Trustees, and from the Executive Committee to the full Board for final action. It shall be the responsibility of the Chancellor or his designee to assure that a form, developed and approved by the Trustees ensuring uniform reporting of data to the Committee, is provided to individuals planning to submit proposals for naming, and that all pertinent information is collected and completed before forwarding the materials to the Committee. (1) Step One: Upon the identification of an individual(s) for whom a facility is proposed to be named, subject to the individual’s agreement to donate the funds requested, the Chancellor may bring the proposal to the Naming of Buildings, Facilities, and Other Recognitions Committee for consideration and to determine whether there are objections to said naming Step Two: Upon the receipt of at least 60% of the funds committed and with a written gift agreement in place for the remainder, the Chancellor may present a recommendation to the Board of Trustees in closed session to approve the naming of the facility. Gifts of irrevocable trusts may be considered case by case apart from this 60% receipt requirement. If approved, the Chancellor will make public the naming action at an appropriate time. (2) The Form. The form developed by the Chancellor and approved by the Trustees shall be completed and signed by the person responsible for originating the proposal for naming. If the proposal involves a financial commitment of $25,000 or more, a copy of the signed Letter of Intent defining pertinent arrangements must also be included. (3) Time Delay for Review. There shall be a minimum of thirty (30) days for review and collection of additional materials and information between the consideration and actions by the Naming Committee and consideration by the Board of Trustees. If the Chancellor believes a naming opportunity needs immediate attention, he/she may request that the Board Chair determine as soon as practicable, by phone or fax, 6
a majority determination of the Board of Trustees as to the appropriateness of suspending the naming policy and deciding the naming question forthwith.”
I. Tentative Prior Approval. From time to time, as a benefit and guide to staff and potential donors, the Trustees may choose to pre-approve groups or classes of facilities or activities that may be considered for naming upon the completion of a qualified gift arrangement at a designated level. If not otherwise stated, facilities and activities which receive prior approval concerning levels of gifts required to attain naming privileges shall extend for five (5) years from the date of approval. After five (5) years, all classes or groups of prior approved items shall be reevaluated or deemed to have expired.
J. Shared Funding for Naming Opportunities. Naming opportunities are intended to recognize individuals, organizations or families for their efforts on behalf of the university. Required gift levels may not be split into units among unrelated individuals, with recognition conferred in multiple or hyphenated name fashion, without prior permission of the Board of Trustees.
K. Transfer of Donations. When a facility or activity is to be named in consideration of a financial contribution, the money or other property constituting the donation shall be transferred to the university or one of its related foundations, or its future transfer shall be assured through signed documentation before official action shall be taken. (1) Non-cash gifts. a. Gifts of real estate. The valuation of real estate shall follow IRS regulations and CASE Management Reporting Standards for establishing value. The valuation for the gift shall be based on a qualified current MAI appraisal (less than six months of age). b. Gifts-in-Kind. In accordance with IRS regulations and CASE Management Reporting Standards, gifts of real and personal property are to be counted at full fair market value regardless of the value the donor may be able to take as a charitable deduction. Gifts of $5,000 or more shall be valued by qualified, independent appraisers. 7
c. Additional requirements. When an opportunity to name a facility or service is expected in return for a non-cash gift, the Trustees may require additional agreements from a donor to assure the eventual net from the sale of real estate or other valuables is not less than the value required for naming. Some examples of potential requirements could include a delay in naming until the article of value is sold, the requirement of multiple appraisals, or the requirement of a make-up provision in which the donor commits to make up the difference between the net received from the sale of the asset and the minimum amount required for naming. (2) Commitment periods may not extend more than five years. (3) Once a designated level of giving has been established for naming, no portion of "annual gifts" or "membership fees" may be counted toward the total required for naming purposes.
L. List of Named Facilities. The Chancellor or his designee shall maintain a list of officially named facilities and activities.
M. Effective Date. This policy shall become effective July 25, 1997.
